A bridal mini, a statement bow or asymmetric draping can be a considered wedding look in its own right. If you're searching for a wedding dress with a more individual style in Brisbane, these details are worth exploring.
We've gathered ten gowns from the new WL Bridal & Gown collection. Some pair a clean column front with a sculptural bow behind; others shorten the front skirt and make the long train a feature of the back. All ten are made to measurements. Note the proportions you like and discuss them with the team when booking at Wishart.
Short and high-low skirts with a ceremony train
A shorter front brings shoes into the outfit, while a long train retains a sense of occasion from behind. The first four gowns have different surface details, so start by looking at the relationship between the shoes and skirt.
1. Phaenna: a folded high-low skirt and bow train
Phaenna makes the high-low proportion clear. A strapless bodice meets a layered folded skirt, with a large bow at the back extending into a long train.
Don't look only at the front when considering this gown. The relationship between the shorter skirt and long back is part of its character. Shoes can have some presence, while the rest of the accessories stay simple.
AUD $1,299.00
2. Allegra: a beaded mini and satin bow train
Dense beadwork decorates the mini skirt of Allegra, with fine straps and a soft neckline alongside the detailed surface. At the back, a smooth satin bow leads into a long train.
The beadwork and satin already make a complete pairing, so earrings don't need to add more decoration. Keep this on the shortlist if you like a short dress but still want a train.
AUD $999.00
3. Fiorella: three-dimensional flowers and a tulle train
Three-dimensional floral appliqué gives Fiorella a distinctive surface. The flowers continue into arm details, while a long tulle train extends from the back of the mini.
We like the proportion of the short skirt beside the long train. Simple shoes and jewellery can leave the flowers as the main detail in the complete outfit.
AUD $1,599.00
4. Novella: a sheer-look bodice and statement bow
Novella contrasts a sheer-look bodice with a sculptural statement bow. The short front skirt and long trailing layers at the back give the gown an individual proportion.
When choosing shoes, look at them with the full outfit before deciding how much detail you want. The bow already has a clear role in the look.
AUD $1,299.00
Column gowns with detail at the back
Sidonie, Cyrene and Solenne combine a column direction with a bow back. Beadwork, clean satin and a scarf-style neckline each bring a different expression to that pairing.
5. Sidonie: beadwork in front, a sculptural bow behind
The swirling beadwork and draped pearl-like strands on Sidonie deserve a closer look. The column front already has detail, and an oversized satin bow at the back leads into extended panels.
We'd begin the styling with neat hair, giving both sides of the gown room to be seen.
AUD $1,999.00
6. Cyrene: minimal satin and asymmetric waist draping
Cyrene takes a quieter direction. Smooth satin has asymmetric draping at the waist, a restrained front and an oversized sculptural bow at the back.
A sheer veil can soften the ceremony look without competing with that back detail. If you like a minimal gown with one distinct feature, Cyrene is worth exploring.
AUD $1,599.00
7. Solenne: a scarf-style neckline and bow back
The interest in Solenne starts at the neckline. Asymmetric draping extends into a scarf detail, which can be styled softly over the head for an editorial ceremony look or arranged around the shoulders to open the face.
A broad draped bow and trailing satin panels continue the detail behind. The styling gives you two ways to consider the same gown, which may appeal if you'd like a change of mood during the day.
AUD $1,499.00
Asymmetric lines and changing proportions
The last group explores directional lines and silhouette changes. An extended panel can change where the eye travels; an overskirt can change the volume of the whole gown.
8. Reverie: an asymmetric shoulder panel and front split
The folded neckline of Reverie extends from one shoulder, with diagonal draping and a high front split on the close column silhouette. Surface decoration is minimal, leaving the lines as the main detail.
A sheer veil, as shown in the photographs, can soften the geometric feel for the ceremony. Simple jewellery keeps the outfit clear.
AUD $1,199.00
9. Leontine: one-shoulder satin and a lace waist panel
Leontine brings satin and floral lace into the same gown. The one-shoulder draping has a clean line, with a lace panel at the waist. At the back, a narrow lace-up closure sits above trailing satin panels.
The high split makes footwear part of the outfit. Tell the team your intended heel height before the final length is confirmed.
AUD $1,399.00
10. Amaris: fitted lace and an overskirt proportion
Amaris is photographed in two proportions: a fitted floral lace line and a fuller look with a sweeping overskirt and long train. An off-shoulder neckline and long lace sleeves connect the two presentations.
If you love the fuller version, send that styling image to the team when booking. Ask whether the overskirt is included and whether it can be removed before planning how you'll wear the gown.
AUD $2,299.00
Let one detail guide the styling
For a short gown, consider the shoes as part of the look. For a bow back, look at your hairstyle from behind as well. With an asymmetric neckline such as Reverie's, try simple earrings first so the direction of the shoulder panel remains clear.
Photographed veils and accessories are styling references. When a particular outfit appeals to you, ask the team to explain the included items. The gowns already have distinct features; the accessories can follow the detail you love most.
